R

Secure R for Regulated Data Science

ActiveState builds R packages from source with full provenance and delivers them through the tools data science teams already use, so compliance and analytics move at the same speed.

Vetted packages for teams that answer to auditors

R powers analytics in financial services, healthcare, insurance, and government. ActiveState delivers every R package with complete SBOMs, verified licensing, and build provenance that maps directly to FedRAMP, SOC 2, and PCI DSS requirements.

Your CRAN alternative with security built in

CRAN hosts community-uploaded packages without build verification. ActiveState builds every R package from source in SLSA Level 3 infrastructure, so your statistical models and data pipelines run on code you can trace to its origin.

Where Anaconda covers two, ActiveState covers twelve

Anaconda supports Python and R. ActiveState covers R alongside Python and 10 other language ecosystems, with containers and runtimes included. One vendor, one catalog, one security posture for your entire open source footprint.

How ActiveState Delivers Secure R

Curated Catalog

Curate a private repository of vetted R packages and deliver them to your data science teams through your existing artifact repository. Compliance is built into the catalog, not bolted on afterward.
